Ah, now thngs start to make sense, but the x-lite problem actually
exists win <>win as well (I believe).

Its funny how these things go in circles and how some handle it...

g711 works, but is expensive in terms of bandwidth,
gsm, better on bandwidth but some implementation problems.
g7...  etc etc

some talk of "new" codecs which goes back to compatibility problems...

thinking back on history now...

soft phones was to be all the go, yet how many rel solutions are out
there, machines have got faster etc, but the os (i am refering to m$)
makes things sower etc (bloatware).

hardphones really haven't taken off so much yet either and really only
recently has affordable ip solutions become available.

Comes back to my 4 steps mentions in another thread.....

finally: whats our biggest problem ?? comes down to M$ doesn't it ??
